Spektaculair

We are already halfway through this academic year, but it’s never too late to introduce the 89th board, ‘Spektaculair’. After a difficult but wonderful year, Lise, Jasmijn, Joeri, Maartje and Pepijn gave the baton to the new board. Lucie, Chemée, Cesar, Lauren and Thomas have been the board of the CDL the last half of the year and will continue to run the CDL the rest of this academic year. Below the 89th board will introduce themselves.

Praeses - Lucie Spek

Dear readers, I am Lucie and this year I have the honour of fullfilling the role of praeses within the 89th Board. This means I have the overview on everything that is going on within our board and the association. I also have a lot of contact with the faculty and other associations, such as TG and the VerO associations. When I am not busy with the CDL (which is alomost never ;)), I am spending time with my roommates in Leiden or at the korfball club in The Hague. I grew up in The Hague and was born into a korfball family. Even though I took a break from playing korfball to be a board member, I come there often and now and then I still play with one of the teams. I am really looking forward to the rest of this Spektacular year and to see you all at our boardroom and at the activities.

Ab actis - Chemée Parrée

Hi everyone! I am Chemée and I am the ab actis of the 89th board. This year I will keep track of the e-mails that enter our inbox, the contact with all of our sisters, members and many things more. I spend my free time having drinks with friends, watching Netflix (in love with Brooklyn 99) and eating/making food. I also love travelling and visiting new countries/cities. In 2020, I went to Surinam and after my high school exams I went on a long trip to Tanzania. These two trips are just highlights of my travels, but especially the trip to Surinam is very special to me. Nowadays, I spend most of my time on the hok and I really enjoy seeing all the members and bonding with our sister associations in our hallway. I am very excited for the rest of this academic year and I hope to see you all on the hok or at one of our activities :)

Quaestor - Cesar van Nispen

Hello there! My name is Cesar van Nispen, I’m 22 years old and this year, I’m the treasurer of the 89 th board of the Chemisch Dispuut Leiden, ‘Spektaculair’. I come from the city Nijmegen, where I have lived until I started studying MST. My hobbies include drinking (craft) beer with friends and playing games. My favourite animal is the manatee. They are really streamlined and look like a living rock. I am also a member of SSR-Leiden, which is a student association.

Assessor externe betrekkingen - Lauren van IJll

Aloha! My name is Lauren van IJll and I am the commissioner of external affairs of the 89th board. I am 21 years old and I grew up in between the greenhouses in Wateringen (fun fact: I still don’t like tomatoes!). This year I decided to move to Leiden so I was closer to the boardroom at all times. This year I took over all the contacts with the companies and I love every second of it. When I am not calling, mailing or visiting companies throughout the country I like to take a dive in the swimming pool. Nothing makes you more awake than a swim training at 5:30 am. I can’t wait to see what this year brings, especially the Dies! I can’t wait to see what the committee, which I proudly QQ, brings to celebrate the birthday of our wonderful association!

Assessor Onderwijs - Thomas van Roeden

Hi everyone! My name is Thomas and this year I have the honour to be the Commissioner of Education of our Spektacular study association. I am 23 years old, which makes me the most ancient of the board. I hail from the cities of Woerden and Rotterdam and I currently live in Delft. Some of my hobbies include drinking wine and cooking, as many of you will know. I am very passionate about pasta and since I took Italian classes last year, that passion has only gotten better (or worse if you ask my board members). The most wise thing I have learned about myself this year is the following: “Van boven knap, van onderwijs!”
